Any health detriments to eating bacon and eggs every morning?

A problem with any processed or cold cut type meat like Bacon is that it contains a preservative called Sodium Nitrate. This preservative performs a good function in that it prevents Botulism, however it's bad side is that your digestive system turns it into a carcinogen or cancer causing agent. If you will include any form of Vitamin C (fresh orange juice, tomato, cantaloupe or from a supplement) the Vit. C blocks this conversion. Otherwise, your meal is nothing to worry about.
